How can we identify true preachers of the gospel?

Identifying true preachers of the gospel requires careful examination of their alignment with Scripture and the truth they preach. As emphasized in the sermon, Paul highlights his integrity by stating that he is not promoting himself, but rather preaching Christ alone (2 Corinthians 4:5). A true preacher will consistently present the gospel without resorting to persuasive techniques or rhetorical flourishes, focusing instead on the profound truths of Scripture. They will emphasize the total depravity of man, the grace of God, and the necessity of faith in Christ for salvation. Furthermore, the manifestation of the Spirit's power in their preaching distinguishes them as genuine servants of God. Those who are called by God will seek to glorify Him rather than themselves, thereby confirming their role as true ministers of the gospel.
